Almond Flour

It is beautifully packaged and makes me smile just looking at it. It appears much finer than what I can sometimes find in our grocery store. I will be baking with it tomorrow and can't wait to give it a try. My whole family enjoyed the packing and opening of the box! You are nuts and I love it!!

Our blanched almond flour is a low-carb, gluten-free baking alternative to wheat flour. Made of almonds (and only almonds), which are first blanched to remove their skins and ground to a very fine consistency, it behaves similarly to all-purpose flour in baking. In fact, our almond flour is one of the finest grinds you'll ever encounter. Packed with protein and fiber, your baked goods have never looked better or been better for you!

4 Health Benefits of Almond Flour

1) Protein Powerhouse: Almond flour is high in protein (1 serving has 6 grams of protein compared to 5.5 grams in one egg) and low in carbohydrates and sugar. This makes it an attractive option for customers on paleo or low-carb diets. Furthermore, the protein is great for maintaining and building healthy muscles.

2) Heart-Healthy: 64% of the fats found in almonds are monounsaturated fats and according to the American Heart Association, these fats help lower harmful cholesterol as effectively as expensive pharmaceutical drugs in addition to lowering the risk of heart disease.

3) Protective Antioxidants: One ounce of almonds has 35% of your daily recommended value of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant. According to The Journal of the American Association (2002), the high vitamin E content of almonds has been linked to protecting against Alzheimer's disease.

4) Minerals and More: Along with being a rich source of protein, monounsaturated fats, and antioxidants, the flour also contains high amounts of calcium, iron, and dietary fiber, nutrients that people with gluten-free diets sometimes lack.

A Gluten-Free, Grain Free Flour

Almond flour is particularly popular with customers on gluten-free diets, as it serves almost all of the same uses as wheat flour. It can even be used as a one-to-one replacement for all-purpose flour in baking. Many gluten-free cookbooks feature the flour prominently in their recipes, as do many almond flour recipes on our site. Our blanched almond flour is Certified Gluten-Free.

Compared to other flours, almond flour is especially flavorful, with a nutty taste that works well with many other foods. It produces baked goods that are especially light and moist. It's also very easy to use, and doesn't require any sifting or kneading.

Even if you're not on a gluten free or low carb diet, give this unique flour a try and you won't be disappointed by the nutty flavor, delicate undertones, and the moist yet light baking products that result from its use. It'll be a refreshing difference from your everyday flours.

Almond Meal vs. Almond Flour

Many people prefer baking with blanched almond flour like ours because the absence of skins creates a soft, light-colored flour. Almond meal, by contrast, has a much coarser texture because it is usually made from unblanched almonds (almonds with skins). Our blanched almond flour has a very finely grind to produce baked goods that are similar in texture and consistency to those you would make with traditional all-purpose flour.

The Blanching Process

Since our almond flour is made from blanched almonds, the almonds go through a process to remove their skins. The nuts are set to soak for two minutes as steam is injected into the water, which softens the skins. The almonds are then passed onto rollers to remove the loosened skins. Finally, they are finely ground to an even consistency that is ideal for baking and cooking. There are no additional ingredients added to the flour; it is simply made from almonds. That’s it!

How To Use Almond Flour for Cooking and Baking

Almond flour is a popular alternative flour due to its subtly sweet taste, high nutrition content, and low-carb attributes. To use it as a substitute for wheat flour, replace the indicated amount of wheat flour in the recipe with the same quantity of almond flour. Baked goods made from almond flour should sit longer once removed from the oven because of their more delicate nature.

…and more. It can also be used to coat meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables. This product may also be referred to as almond powder, and just like your favorite superfood powders, it can be added to smoothies for a nutrient boost.

Packaging and Storage

This almond flour arrives ready-to-use in our signature nutty re-sealable packaging to help the flour maintain its freshness. Due to the flour’s high moisture and fat content, the package should be stored in the fridge if you plan to keep it for more than a couple weeks. Transfer the flour to the freezer if you're planning to keep it even longer. This will extend the shelf life and prevent rancidity. Almond flour should be thawed before handling straight from the freezer since it will initially be clumpy and difficult to work with. As you can see on the right-hand side of the page, you can also buy almond flour in bulk from us. We sell it by the pound, in 5-lb. bags, and 25-lb. cases.

Our Customers Thought

I have been buying product from Nuts.com for about 2 years. I am very happy with the service. Once a bag that had been shipped had not been sealed and it spilled all over everything in the shipping box. Nuts.com sent a replacement without blinking an eyelash. I also have celiac and have never been glutened by any of their gluten free products.

I reordered this product. I use it as a coating for fish and chicken, in baking and substitute it for white or wheat flour in many recipes. A great source of nutrition as I was advised to eliminate regular flour in my diet.. This one is never lumpy and always satisfying. Love it!!
